	<p><a href="http://www.hfday.org/">Hardware Freedom Day</a> is an international campaign coordinated by the <a href="http://digitalfreedomfoundation.org">Digital Freedom Foundation</a>, and organized by groups all over the world. This campaign's main goal is to inform technology users about Free Hardware and Free Software that is being used in the process of making and programming Free Hardware. Both these concepts are about respecting user freedom of using hardware for any purpose, study it, modify it, adapt it, and then redistributing the modified version of it.

    <p>Organisations or individuals who want to publish, at <a href="http://filme.ceata.org/">filme.ceata.org</a>, under free licenses, recordings of presentations around this event's topics, please <a href="#contact">contact Fundația Ceata</a>.
    <h3 id="despre-noi">About us</h3>
    <p>În conformity with its <a href="https://wiki.ceata.org/index.php/Statut#Art._6_-_Scopul">Constitution</a>, Fundația Ceata is a nonprofit organization which aims to liberate the Romanian users from restrictions in arts and technologies, in compliance with the current Romanian Law.</p>
    <p>Ceata is an active community with almost 5 years long history, which has operated as informal group from June 10th 2008 to February 15th 2013, when Fundația Ceata has been incorporated. At the <a href="http://ceata.org/presa#lansarea">launch event</a> of Fundația Ceata on February 22nd 2013, Richard Stallman himself has given a speech.</p>
    <p>Unfortunately, Fundația Ceata is the only Romanian organization aligned with the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/">Free Software philosophy</a>. Although it encounters many obstacles in growing the Free Software Movement in Romania and the Republic of Moldova, Fundația Ceata organizes many events like this one, and develops Free works (software, articles, pictures, recordings), and persuades organizations and individuals to release their works under Free licenses, through continuous activism efforts.</p>
    <p>Fundația Ceata has its headquarters in Bucharest, but it has two local teams of volunteer members, <a href="cj.ceata.org">Ceata-CJ</a> and <a href="http://md.ceata.org">Ceata-MD</a>, and aims to extend its local team network in other counties of Romania and abroad, where Romanian communities exist.</p>
    <p>For more information about the activity of Fundația Ceata, please visit <a href="http://ceata.org">ceata.org</a>. For Free articles about Free arts and technologies, please visit Fundația Ceata's online publication, <a href="http://fii-liber.ro">fii-liber.ro</a>.</p>
